Animal & Plant Cells

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are green structures in plant cells that help with photosynthesis, allowing plants to make their own food using sunlight.

Front

What is the nucleus?

Back

The nucleus is the center of a cell that controls cell growth and activities. It is often referred to as the 'brain' of the cell.

Front

What is the function of the cell membrane?

Back

The cell membrane allows materials to pass in and out of the cell, acting as a barrier that controls what enters and exits.

Front

What is cytoplasm?

Back

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance inside a cell where all the organelles are located. It helps to keep the cell's shape.

Front

What is the cell wall?

Back

The cell wall is a rigid outer layer found in plant cells that provides structure and support.

Front

What is the difference between plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not. Animal cells have a flexible cell membrane.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are organelles?

Back

Organelles are specialized structures within a cell that perform specific functions, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the 'powerhouses' of the cell because they produce energy through cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of the cell wall in plants?

Back

The cell wall provides structure, support, and protection to plant cells.
